2WD rear springs


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 99 rado with a fabtech 7" ultimate travel lift (crossmember) with 315/75R16's mounted under it. My problem is the rear springs. The left one seems to sag more than the right and upon accelerating, the rear drops. Needless to say, this bugging the piss outta me and I want to fix it. Also, some more payload capacity would be sweet....

 

P.S. Any Hints on a differential to go along with the 315's...towing and mild offroad stuff? that can candle 400 horses....

Well, you can install helper leaves in your springs which will give you a little more spring capacity or you can order a custom set of springs from a place like Alcan spring and have them designed to suit the type of payload you would like to carry. IMHO a good choice for a differential without breaking the bank would be a 14 Bolt SF. I think that would work good for your application. :cheers:

Thanx!!, I wil check it out. I was thinking about just replacing the blocks with lift springs and a smaller block to keep level ride-height, But I have heard horror stories about changing driveshaft length when going in that direction....
